In today’s post it is time to set the theme for the June 2009 Virtual Crafting Challenge;

Peel Offs, Stickers & Ribbons

There are a wide variety of designs and colours in all of these to suit many different tastes. This is your journey and the idea behind this challenge is to encourage you to try new things or rediscover crafting items you may have but neglected for a while. Here are a few ideas of ways you could use some of these products but explore your own ideas as well. Feel free to play, there is no pressure to create a finished piece for the end of the month, but you can if you like ;)
